Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Thanks for your contribution. I just added the link you provided.

I was looking for these small scsi drives but bought a magneto 
optical drive from Fujitsu instead. But thee seems to be a problem 
with the scsi card in my S1100 (bought it second hand). The sampler 
can read the cdrom drive but doesn' format the MO drive. I think  the 
former owner removed the scsi cable while the sampler was still on. 
None of the terminator resistors are there. Normally repairing is not 
so difficult because there is just one chip on the PCB, but I cannot 
find it anymore. Perhaps if I can find an old PC scsi controller to 
get the IC from... Mutec sells a new controller for 100 Euro


Regards,

Frank
